Hello,
I use a random password function to do just that,
function randomPassword($length = 8) {
// all the chars we want to use
$all = explode( " ",
"a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z "
. "A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z "
. "0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 _");
for($i=0;$i<$length;$i++) {
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$randy = rand(0, 61);
$pass .= $all[$randy];
}
return $pass;} $new_filename = randomPassword(10); For the delete of the file, unlink is your answer: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php hope it help! py At 12:05 PM 3/24/01 -0500, you wrote:
